Popis: Simple Summary The originality of this prospective study is to use radiation therapy in association with chemotherapy before surgery and permit patients to preserve their breasts or to undergo immediate reconstruction. This neoadjuvant strategy can therefore allow one-stage breast reconstructive surgery, the so-called “reverse technique”. Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant concurrent radiochemotherapy makes it possible to increase the breast conservation rate. This study reports the long term outcome of this treatment. Methods: From 2001 to 2003, 59 women with T2–3 N0–2 M0 invasive breast cancer (BC) not amenable to upfront breast conserving treatment (BCS) were included in this prospective, non-randomized phase II study. Chemotherapy (CT) consisted of four cycles of continuous 5-FU infusion and Vinorelbine. Starting concurrently with the second CT cycle, normofractionated RT was delivered to the breast and LN. Breast surgery was then performed. Results: Median follow-up (FU) was 13 years [3–18]. BCS was performed in 41 (69%) patients and mastectomy in 18 patients, with pathological complete response rate of 27%. Overall and distant-disease free survivals rates at 13 years were 70.9% [95% CI 59.6–84.2] and 71.5% [95% CI 60.5–84.5] respectively. Loco regional and local controls rates were 83.4% [95% CI 73.2–95.0] and 92.1% [95% CI 83.7–100], respectively. Late toxicity (CTCAE-V3) was assessed in 51 patients (86%) with a median follow-up of 13 years. Fifteen presented grade 2 fibrosis (29.4%), 8 (15.7%) had telangiectasia, and 1 had radiodermatitis. Conclusions: This combined treatment provided high long-term local control rates with limited side-effects.
